Now that taxpayers are helping pay for a new arena, the Orlando City Council wants to make it tougher for the Orlando Magic to leave town.

The council Monday approved a 23-page agreement with the Magic in which team executives agree to play their home games in Orlando and not to ask the National Basketball Association for the OK to move to another city.

If the team violates the "non-relocation" agreement before its 25-year lease expires, the Magic would have to pay big money, including the lost rent and naming-rights revenue. The agreement includes a sliding scale based on the year in which the team would attempt to skip town. In 2008, the team would owe $270 million, and in 2034 -- the last year -- $62.1 million.
